Thanks so much for the beautiful pics, rawhide! Hummingbirds are my favorite, but swans, even though they can be feisty, are my second favorite! I think they are such beautiful creations!

Thanks, that is a perfect photgraphic example of Psalms 91:4
“He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart”

Wish I had the brains to post photos. I have a photo somewhere on my computer of a female great blue heron and four mallard ducklings. All rather confused but hanging out together. Very cute.

Swans are purty but they're mean as the dickens.
